Who Stinks?! Eric Holder, former Att. General

Sep 11, 2015 2:05PM PDT
New Att. General correcting old graft and corruption influences in Department of Justice, the Legacy of Eric Holder.

He's not the first though to curry favor while in office so he can walk into a high paid cushy job later on, the "legal" form of graft and corruption that taints so many office holders today. Don't take payments, get future promises instead, then when you are out, it's OK legally. What a pay day!!

"This week, the Justice Department felt the need to write a memo to staff instructing them to indict individuals when they commit crimes, seemingly something implied by their job titles. It doesn’t say as much about the current Justice Department regime under Loretta Lynch as it does about the former one under Eric Holder.

No major Wall Street executive went to jail for the illegal actions that precipitated the financial crisis, despite a mountain of documentary evidence of fraud. Corporations and their employees got away with what amounted to slaps on the wrist. And Holder, after presiding over this, joined the head of his Justice Department criminal division and several top deputies at Covington & Burling, a white-collar defense firm that represents most major banks."


as always, more at link.
